Try using the command line clients shipped with svn 1.4. The problem might
be with incompatible version of the client and the server. Try running
svnadmin --version and svn --version to check if both the versions are what
you intended to use. There might be issues with some path variables as the
1.3 client that you installed later might have overwritten the path
variable. I am a linux user and I am not sure about how this works on
Windows. But this is just my 2 cents.
